Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby - Spanish
Movie Review: Baby's Love this Video!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Amazon review--the product is just so great I had share.
My daughter has been watching this video since she was 6 mos old--she's almost three now and is just starting to outgrow it. I would put it on and she would sit totally mesmerized for the entire length. Later she started repeating out loud after the narrator. The original VHS was a bit shorter than the DVD (I bought it twice if that tells you anything!), and the shorter version was actually better for her attention span.
She knows all the words, colors, and can count. As a first generation American (of South American parents), it has been my goal to "not lose the language" and to give my child the same gift of a second language that my parents gave me. This video has been an invaluable tool in working toward that goal. This is the only video I have found that is purely in spanish, and I personally think that immersion is the best method of teaching another language (especially to small children just forming any language skills at all). I have the Lyric Language video which does half english and half spanish which is okay but goes too long for a small kid's attention span, and Sesame Street's Fiesta which is fun to watch but only has about eight words (plus the numbers) in Spanish.
I'm patiently waiting for the next level (hopefully soon)--I'm definitely buying it when it comes out!
Movie Review: No better way to intoduce the spanish language to kids.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have taken many years of Spanish...had a million teachers with differing backgrounds and dialects.(i.e. Castillian, S.American, Mexican).. I loved this video! I thought it was very thorough...almost like a first year Spanish class.
I agree that there are a few words that are not too commonly used..but, there are different dialects throughout the world, and the words the video teaches.. gets the idea across..no matter which Spanish speaking nation is listening.
I think..as a VERY busy..somewhat bi-lingual mother of 2..that the video is an excellent way to teach your kiddos spanish words and phrases.
Another thing I liked about the video was that it is very much like a classroom exercise..it taught, gave examples, asked questions..sang a song using words learned..then it reviewed everything taught.
The video is definately for older toddlers...my 3 yr. old will watch it (on occasion)..my 17 mo old will watch it...(sort of)..yet, she has no clue what is going on and doesn't really care. But..my husband watched it and learned beginning Spanish..:)
I really think..if you have a school age kid..get it..a child over 31/2.. get it..a younger child..get it...and play it while they are doing something else...you may learn something too!
Movie Review: Excellent beginning primer for Spanish
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a billingual Spanish (Cuban)/English speaker. It is very important to me that I teach my son Spanish. I bought this video to reinforce my teachings. I am very pleased with all that it covers. It reviews the numbers 1-10, colors, common nouns, some parts of the body, Mommy, Daddy, common verbs, hello, goodbye, yes, no, and how to say please and I love you. It does some reviews with questions and answers for things like, "How many books are there? There is one book.", or "What color is the snowman? The snowman is white." (obviously in Spanish). The words for all of these are displayed in Spanish on the screen in large print and in English in small print. There is a lot of repetion to reinforce the lessons. They missed some obvious things, like how to say thanks you and some parts of the body (like arms), but I guess you can't get everything in. They also use a couple of words that are different from my dialect, but there are so many dialects, I can't see how they can avoid it. They also sing Mary had a Little Lamb in Spanish (no words are shown onscreen while doing this, which would have been nice). But, overall, a very good dvd and worth purchasing.Movie Review: GREAT VIDEO - BUY IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely a very entertaining DVD filled with a variety of tools to teach young children Spanish. I have been playing this DVD since my baby was about 6 months old and she loves it!! It is the ONLY video (DVD) she will actually sit and pay attention to for a long time. Now that she has just turned one, there are many words that she says and recognizes from the video. As a Spanish speaker myself, I highly recommend it, although there are some words that could use different translations (but that depends where you are from.) Nonetheless, the video is entertaining, useful, full of color and cute babies, which your baby will love! It may become quite annoying to you after watching it so much but your child will love it. It's a great video...buy it!Movie Review: by a native speaker grandmother

I am native speaker, and I has been looking for products like this, I has been not lucky, biut this is really good, I was thinking how a girl with hispanic last name, half spanish, her mother is naive englisgh speaker can't talk in spanish. I has been disagreed with my son due that he choose by the easy path, talk english in home, Nathalia has been enjoy this DVD for the last 4 months, she has 33 months at this time, and she still interisting in this DVD, she start to associate english words with spanish work by herself, it is a completed inmersion to a little child , include to adult that is willing to learn spanish naturally, the only thibk is just 25 minutes, THANKS YOU BRANY COMPANY, I HOPE YOU WILL GIVE US MORE SPANISH DVD LIKE IT.
